    I love Hunter...what can I say :)

    Did he write letters to asshole frat boys too?


    Last time I checked.......nnnnnnnnnno. Not one.

    Love the Doctor. I'm doin the straight burn through Baker, Barstow and Berdoo to Vegas this Spring with a suitcase of "goodies" in a convertible. Cannot wait.

    "I wanna bang you?" Is that it? Jesus, you're getting worked up about that?

    But I guess the "popsicle up your ass" or whatever comments made by Vedder are still fair game though, right?


    When it involves a real shitty band...I'd say fair game, maybe even too nice

    people need to calm down. Who cares if someone yells something. You are never going to stop it from happening. Be glad you are seeing one of your favorite artists, and complain about things that matter.......like the color of Ed's pants.

    or stay home.

    Give this stuff a rest, already. Does anyone find it funny anymore (assuming anyone found it funny the first time)?

    sadly, EV's solo tour has confirmed one thing in my mind ...

    Somewhere between 5 - 10% of Pearl Jam fans are complete douchebags.

    Sadly, they are the (very) vocal minority ... making it seem the majority of us are that way, which is so far from the truth.


    I put that number much higher then 5-10%!

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    The demand for tickets is so high to these EV shows. When I find out the frat assholes are yelling stupid and offending comments (especially at women), I get angry that they got seats in the first place.

    I have an idea for EV's next solo tour...

    You must pass a PJ IQ test in order to obtain a ticket. Most true PJ fans are intelligent, classy, polite, and respectful towards men and women. This dude would have failed the test and been denied entrance.
    David Letterman's show does something VERY similar, and it works. It's not tough. One time I was asked the name of the stage manager (Biff) and another time I was asked who Rupert Gee was (deli guy next door). It's fair and it guarantees that REAL fans get in.

    If it was "I wanna bang you", that's what you're upset about? Jesus. I hope that wasn't it because I don't know how you can function in life if a comment like this bothered you and has festered for this long to go as far to post about it.

    Yeah...I guess I should let it go right?...no big deal...right?

    It's not hurting anyone...

    I'm guess Your Sister, Your Mother, Your Wife, Your Girlfriend, Daughter, whatever should just continue to accept this sort of behaviour from us men.

    They should just get used to it right?

    Do you agree?

    Cause I don't.

    Maybe it's because My Wife and I got a chance to have a really cool conversation with Liam, EJ, and their tour manager Sam for a little while before the show...They're all really cool people; especially EJ...It was a great conversation, and something I won't soon forget.

    Kind of felt like a friend was getting insulted up there.

    But
    Maybe I'm just being to sensitive...

    Sorry.

    Nobody's worked up - its a simple discussion. The point being made by some is that guy's comment was seriously disrespectful to a woman. Ed would not speak to a woman like that I'm pretty sure. (Would you like someone to say it to your mother or sister?) The popsicle thing was quite different - another band's sound is pretty much fair game. Its not so much the language being used, but the way it was used and who it was directed to.

    i do not condone this sort of behavior, but why is it acceptable for a girl to yell out "i wanna bang you eddie" but unacceptable for a guy to yell out "i wanna bang you eliza" - isn't this sexism??

    "I wanna bang you" sounds like a compliment to me.

    I've heard waaaaaaaay worse shit yelled at females during concerts. This is pretty tame.
    I have to agree here.. its dumb, its stupid, but its nothing compared to some of the things I've heard.

    Definitely better than 'take off your shirt' or whatever...

    You need to understand the mindset of advanced-level white people in order for you to understand the reaction of advanced-level white people. Advanced-level white people only get offended on the behalf of others, not on behalf of their own kind. By making self-deprecating remarks on their own kind, while defending the offense on others, makes them feel open-minded, tolerant, & diverse.

    I think idiots yell stuff so if a boot is released they can tell their friends....thats totally me

    The only show I went to NYC2 Ed was pissed

    I'm sure this is one of the reasons these boots will never be released.

    Thanks for that. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have got in based on something like that and Eddie and PJ wouldn't have a fan that just moved from casual to now completely into them and anxiously waiting to see a PJ show in the future. When I think of all the fun I had over two preparties, shows etc. I resent that you would enthusiastically deny that for me.

    Stellar idea though, keep only the fans you have, don't collect any new ones along the way.

    Well if ya wanna split hairs, then why don't you look at our hero The Doctor? He wasn't necessarily the most chivalrous person towards women.

    Dear Frat boy:

    You're remarks to Miss Eliza Jane Barnes at Wednesday’s concert at Massey Hall put an embarrassing stain on an otherwise beautiful and memorable evening.

    You are very lucky that the comments hurled from your crackly, pre-pubescent, and annoying voice did not make it to the stage or reach the ears of either Eliza Jane Barnes or Eddie Vedder. As I’m sure if they had; you would have been rightfully thrown out of the building, or beaten within an inch of your shameful and pathetic life.

    Your obvious lack of respect for the performers on stage, as well as your obvious lack of respect for women in general is an embarrassment to not only Toronto audiences, but Pearl Jam faithful as well.

    You Sir are the poorest representation that the Human Race has to offer. You feed from the toilet like a dog and you are the very epitome of human swine.

    May you live the rest of your days alone with your small pecker and a blistered hand.

    May you never know the grace of a Female’s love.

    I hope for the sake of all humanity, that you did the world a favor Wednesday evening and choked on your own vomit.

    Every breath taken away from you is gift to us all.

    Gonzo.
    The fact that this eats away at you enough to make a thread, and your absolute judgment and damning, is far more offensive than shouting "I wanna bang you" from someone who was more than likely intoxicated. Let's all pray for the genocide of all people who shout random things which in turn offend the far-too-sensitive. Let it go. I hope you didn't lose sleep.
